‘Really hacked off’: Joe Root’s ‘brutally honest’ reaction to latest England drama

England cricket captain Joe Root expressed his frustration and disappointment over an incident involving teammate Brydon Carse, who was briefly detained by police outside a nightclub in Derby. According to Root, he is "really hacked off" and "really disappointed" by the incident, which has prompted an investigation by the Cricket Regulator.

The incident occurred on Saturday night, with images on social media showing Carse in handcuffs outside a bar. He was briefly arrested and subsequently de-arrested. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has referred the incident to the Cricket Regulator, and Carse was dropped from the squad for the second Test against Pakistan, being replaced by Sonny Baker.

Root stated that he had spoken to Carse, who is "very upset" and "very apologetic" about his actions. Root also expressed his frustration at the repeated mistakes being made by the team away from the field, despite previous warnings about the importance of responsible behaviour as England players.
